Trans/Turbo/Engine Life? 850

Reading this board on a daily basis gets me pretty depressed with my ownership of a 95 855T Wagon. Love the car, have done a bunch of maintenance on it, now has 104K miles. I got it with 97K on the clock and did get in touch with the previous owner whom seems to have taken care of it. There are so many posts about bad trannies, blown seals (including the rear main), A/C problems, etc.. I had my mechanic check out my car and all seems well, but these posts are scaring me into possibly wanting to sell my car before these issues arise and my car is then not worth a dime. My question is for other owners whom do not have these problems, what kind of mileage have you gone on the original trans, motor, turbo, a/c when properly maintained? 150K? Better? Worse? I bought this car for the Volvo reputation of safety and mostly reliability. Again, I love this car and really love the convenience of the wagon (kids love the 3rd seat too) but this board is scaring me into a possible sale of my car.

Thanx.

Keith
